      Yup, the marketing dollars to get streamers to play games is leading to the games downfall.
      Streamers are bringing in hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars collectively playing games for at max 2-3 weeks and then moving to the next cash cow.
      Even if a game is good you can’t keep the player base if they came from streamers and they’ve moved on.

    They can easily make all the money they need with paid cosmetics and utilities that don't directly affect character power. (like extra storage space, inventory space, etc) The problem is they want to maximize profits. Usually, the more you maximize profits in the short term, the more you damage the long term outlook.

      @Prudaeng 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Well technically, they dont sell any direct power. There r like cosmetic packages which gives u some lucent but not that much tbh. The only p2w model in this game right now in the west is the auction house n it is EXACTLY the same in p2w lvl as wow. I dont understand why he would say AH in wow is somehow different. U can buy the currency with real money and buy things in AH. Both r exactly the same The only difference is u play this for free and wow u need subscription. Now TL in KR does have subscription based buff that gives u number of comfort features which is basically p2w because u can access storage anywhere and that is basically easier farm and thus p2w.
      What im trying to say is ppl r making this game out to be like those asian mobile games where u can infinitely swipe for cash gears and direct powerups with like 50 packages in cash shopmwith 10 cash currencies but in reality its not that different from other mmosmout there with RMT and AH.

    I’ve been playing since the game launched, telling myself I’ll get stronger today, I’ll get stronger tomorrow, and now I’ve reached 3k IP. During this time, I thought I was weak because I didn’t have traits. Turns out, that wasn’t the issue at all. There’s no build as ridiculous as the sword and shield / sword build. There are combinations so absurd that you can’t get out of stun ‘until you die.’ I’ve experienced how hard it is to play as a mage in this game. Open-world bosses are already the guilds’ playground. A party of 3-5 people can’t do anything. What I’m saying is that today, I reached 3k IP and quit the game. The characters are unbalanced, and the PvP is terrible. If anyone’s considering starting, take this comment seriously.

    How to avoid pay to win in TL: Join a guild, do guild activities and events, if you're in a good guild that participates, that guild will get the items and sell them on AH. Then YOU, the player that is in said guild and is I'm assuming actually PLAYING THE GAME, will get a portion of the lucent the guild made from the sale. I have gotten thousands of lucent for free and have been f2p since the game came out. Just play the game and you'll have no need to spend anything. People complain about literally any form of putting money into a game and getting an advantage.
    If people want to spend money on gear and traits and QOL features like extra presets for skills and gear, let them. There is this super cool real life perk that a lot of people have called DISPOSABLE INCOME that they are welcome to spend on whatever they damn well please. Also, game companies have to make money and as long as people continue to speak with their wallets, they will keep putting these features in their games. If that isn't your cup of tea, don't fucking drink it. Play something else. Not every game is gonna be for you.

    In WoW there's not really much p2w though. People who pay are already behind because they need to be boosted by f2p players. When a new content patch or expansion drops, paying won't help you, cause you need a good group to clear. It's only after some weeks that people finally start boosting.
    So it's basically no different then paying to boost character to max level. You're just paying to catch up to people who are already ahead. I don't mind it too much because those people who pay will never really pass me. They're basically noobs.
    In Throne and Liberty if you want to be ahead of the curve, and of the best players, you need to pay. So the strongest players are p2w ones.

    they evaluate lost ark as 9 in a 0 to 10 p2w scale, however lost ark is a PVE mainly game, you are paying to kill npc. Throne and Liberty is a PVP GVG game, where you pay to literally WIN. You dont win anything putting real money in lost ark other than getting your raids done faster, getting into other whales groups. A regular free to play player can play lost ark and enjoy the game. A regular free to play player wont be able to do the same in Throne and Liberty and thats whats the T.

    So Shroud thinks its best to give the p2w function (in this case it's storage access from anywhere?) for free to the players instead of removing it all, but at the same time he also hard believes that they will add the system back in to cost money later. If this happens, wouldn't this be in a worse situation for the game because the system that was introduced as "free" to NA but then months later it is put behind a paywall?

The make all these assets and armors and weapons and POWER then they sell it to us instead of just putting it in for free. As well as make a huge game. Cut it in half then sell the second half as dlc. And i know throne and liberty is free but they do that so they can sell everything us.

    People having the point of this video fly over their head. Having P2W in the game is going to be a neccessary evil in MMOs because buying something off the shop is what devs need to make money. If you dont need to buy it, no one will buy. So they put it in the game, but in such a way that by buying P2W its a complete waste of money to do so. An illusion of winning. Alot like BDO funnily enough. But people dont like P2W at all, so they try to remove it to say "n-no we were wrong." This is where Shroud is saying thats its too late. You shouldnt have added in in the FIRST PLACE. Now EVERYONE KNOWS youre going to add it in EVENTUALLY. Which is whatever, but now it screws over the whales AND the players because the P2W is half assed AND removing P2W somehow meant losing features of the game. So Shroud basically saying you mine as well let the whales have their fun since they cant escape the P2W title now
